"Lakeside Ross Castle dates back to the 15th century, when it was a residence of the O'Donoghue family. It was the last place in Munster to succumb to Cromwell's forces, thanks partly to its cunning spiral staircase, every step of which is a different height in order to break an attacker's stride. The castle is a lovely 2.6km walk or bike ride southwest of the St Mary's Cathedral pedestrian park entrance; you may well spot deer along the way."

9 Places For Breakfast In Killarney (Yell LOVE) In 2021
"The menu at Mug and Bean is mighty, and there’s everything from smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs to homemade granola. If you plan on tackling Killarney’s Torn Mountain walk or the tough Cardiac Hill, the Creamy Porrige (Chunky rolled oats served with mixed toasted seeds, organic honey or berry compote) is just the job. There’s also a variety of egg dishes and the usual full Irish."

"Signposted 1.5km northeast of Muckross House, this well-preserved ruin (actually a friary, though everyone calls it an abbey) was founded in 1448 and burned by Cromwell's troops in 1652. There's a square-towered church and a small, atmospheric cloister with a giant yew tree in the centre (legend has it that the tree is as old as the abbey). In the chancel is the tomb of the McCarthy Mòr chieftains, and an elaborate 19th-century memorial to local philanthropist Lucy Gallwey."

10 Must Visit Pubs in Killarney, Ireland
"A post shared by Summer Dodge (@summer.dodge) on Sep 15, 2015 at 1:34pm PDT. Tatler Jack’s surprise the moment you step inside, as you realize how busy it actually is. This long, narrow yet surprisingly spacious pub looks tiny and unassuming from the outside, but literally packs a punch with its friendly atmosphere, superb live music, good food and a fine selection of drinks."

17 BEST Hotels in Killarney Town (That Ye'll LOVE in 2021)
"One of the more traditional hotels in Killarney is Tatler Jack, a family-run business with 10 ensuite guest rooms. The cosy bar and restaurant are open to non-residents and are popular with locals, which is a recommendation in itself. The friendly Irish bar is the place to learn the rules of Gaelic football from passionate supporters."
